A lot happens in two weeks

These are random thoughts, mainly as an excuse to get pictures up.

First, flying little prop planes into the Amazon isn´t so bad. But check out this "airport" and note the grass runway.

Everywhere is a jungle. Here I am with a toucan. You might think this was taken during our trek through the rainforest. But no, it is in our hostal in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. The places has two resident toucans. This is more animals than we saw during our two days camping.

Internet is too slow to upload more and we have to check-out of our hostal now. Tonight we leave on a 14 hr train ride to the Pantanal in Brazil. Border officials are said to be corrupt and require a bribe to get your stamp. And the cheaper of the two trains is lovingly referred to as the "Death Train" because 10 years back it would regularly jump the tracks and people riding on top with contraband would fall off to their death. Luckily we got four of the last seats on the plush, first class train, so hopefully that ensure we don´t die.
